Full set: 91 questions
Answer options
A: PowerProtect Cyber Recovery Correct answer
B: PowerProtect Data Manager
C: NetBackup
D: CyberSense
Correct Answer:
A. PowerProtect Cyber Recovery
Explanation

PowerProtect Cyber Recovery provides a solution to protect critical data from cyberattacks like ransomware by creating an operational air gap. It isolates critical data in a secure, automated vault environment, physically and logically separated from the production network. Data is replicated from a production PowerProtect DD system to a vaulted DD system. This isolation minimizes the attack surface and ensures a clean copy of data is available for recovery. The solution includes automated workflows to lock down the vault and tools like CyberSense for analytics on the vaulted data.

Why Incorrect

B. PowerProtect Data Manager is backup software that orchestrates data protection but does not inherently create an air-gapped vault.
C. NetBackup is a third-party backup application that can use a PowerProtect DD as a target but is not the air-gap solution itself.
D. CyberSense is the analytics engine used within the PowerProtect Cyber Recovery vault to detect corruption, not the overall air-gap solution.
